abstract = "The emerging internet of things (IoT) technology has immense potential for unprecedented business offerings in various domains. To provide reliable IoT products and services that comply with regulatory demands, businesses must meet users data protection and privacy needs. With
the General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR) coming into force from 24th May, 2016 and applicable from 25th May, 2018, IoT businesses must strategise privacy alignment for their products or services by incorporating in their design the privacy and data protection capabilities necessary for
regulatory compliance and gaining user trust. This paper discusses the associated data protection and user privacy concerns, making reference to such IoT service offerings as smart retail, the smart home, smart wearables, smart health devices, smart television and smart toys. The three steps
to privacy alignment strategy discussed in this paper comprise the privacy inquisition (PI) analysis model, the IoT privacy impact assessment (iPIA) and the privacy state transition process through which IoT businesses pass on their path to attaining perfect alignment with respect
to the GDPR data protection requirements and user privacy needs. Privacy inquisition, iPIA and privacy state transition should be performed on a periodic basis, preferably under the guidance of a privacy governance board with supervisory authority and representation from the organisations
board of directors, the controller and the data protection officer.",
